SETTING THE SYSTEM’S VOLUME

Adjust the answering system’s VOL- UME to a comfortable level. (This does not affect the volume of the message the caller hears.)

SCREENING CALLS

To screen calls, let the answering sys- tem answer them. Listen to the caller’s message through the answering sys- tem’s speaker. If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same phone line as the answering system. The answering system stops recording and resets to answer the next call.

Note: If you pick up the phone just as the answering system answers, the answering system might not stop play- ing the message. If this happens, hang up the phone for a moment then pick it up again.

PLAYING MESSAGES

When you have messages, the red light on the PLAY button blinks. If you have four messages or less, the light blinks once for each message stored.

(If you have two messages, the light blinks twice followed by a pause, then blinks twice more, and so on.) If you have more than four messages, the light blinks continuously.

To play the messages, press PLAY. The answering system beeps, re- winds, then plays the messages.

To pause playback for up to 60 sec- onds, press PLAY. To restart play- back, press PLAY again.

Notes:

If you do not restart playback within 60 seconds, the tape fast- forwards to the end of the last incoming message, as though playback was never started.

If a call comes in while playback is paused, the tape immediately fast-forwards to the end of the last incoming message and then answers the call.

After you play back all the mes- sages, the answering system beeps twice, rewinds to the begin- ning, and resets to answer calls.

To save the messages, open the cas- sette compartment door and press SAVE before a new call is recorded.
